5 Minute Tales Dinosaur Stories

Friendly dinosaurs, small adventures and the occasional gentle lesson make up this companion collection of very short stories from Igloo Books. Each tale runs to roughly five minutes of reading, which fits the attention span of a three- or four-year-old almost exactly and lets a tired parent finish a story rather than promise the rest tomorrow. Familiar creatures such as Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops appear as characters rather than exhibits, so the appeal is narrative rather than factual, and the illustrations give listeners plenty to look at while the words go by. Inside the covers: • Short stories built around dinosaur characters rather than dinosaur facts • Each one complete within a single short reading session • Illustrations on every spread to hold a listener's attention • Simple sentences suited to children of three and upward Good for preschoolers, dinosaur enthusiasts and anyone needing a quick bedtime story at short notice; published by Igloo Books and stocked at Boipoka.
